Of course, everybody has their own opinion about the meaning of the song & for me it says everything about the way my life has turned out to be. It's funny how I discovered the song about a week ago too; that's when everything in my life turned around.
To me this song is about how my life has been - everybody was telling me how to live it, how to speak, how to act, how to be - "They tell you where you need to go, they tell you when you need to leave, they tell you what you need to know, they tell you who you need to be," & I have always felt that there's something more to it, that the way I was living wasn't right - "But everything inside you knows there's more than what you've heard, there's so much more than empty conversations filled with empty words." It can also be said about the past relationships that a person, in this case me, has had. I mean, there are these types of relationships when you don't feel that you can be fully opened, when you can't bet truly happy, because something's missing. And the best part, now I feel like I'm literally on fire, I feel so alive! "And you're on fire when he's near you, you're on fire when he speaks, you're on fire burning at these mysteries!"
And now ... now I have this chance to live my life the way I want to. I am the creator of my life & he opened up my eyes, & am so grateful for that. I want to be a better person, I want to do the things to inspire others. I have so much love inside & I can finally let it all out! I finally feel good in my own mind, in my skin, in my body! "Give me one more time around, give me one more chance to see, yeah, give me everything you are, give me one more chance to be near you, yeah
When everything inside me looks like everything I hate, you are the hope I have for change, you are the only chance I'll take!"
Well, that's what the song & the lyrics mean to me. :)
